Vegetable Soup Table

Dish hoarder confession: this week's table was set because Pat could reach the flatware used on it. All of our other tablescaping flatware was buried behind an avalanche of dinnerware, glassware, napkins, and other stuff in my "dish room" (a small unused bedroom dedicated to tablescaping.) That's because I had to move out three dozen boxes to get to a box of glassware painted with flowers on them for our other tablescaping blog. Of course, the box I needed was on the bottom of the last eight-foot-high stack way in the back between shelving units.....

Anyway, the accent plate was on a shelf just inside the door - an easy reach. Ergo, the theme to this week's table is "casual" and vegetables.

The napkin ring was selected because Pat could just barely reach around the door to the dishroom and it was the closest.

Fortunately, all the Fiestaware is store in the laundry room (that's another story.......)

This looks colorful and wonderful.So very beautiful. The colors just make you feel happy. Beautifully taken photographs. Love the napkin rings. How pretty they are. Thank you very much for stopping by to leave your sweet comment for my homing coming cat after a year. Sweet of you. Yes we are happy to see him. Everyday he comes here for his nap and for his catty food. He plays a lot these days and wanted to be petted. Love Sujatha:)

About Me

Pat, the oldest sister, is married (happily for over 40 years) and has one daughter. She enjoys gardening, cooking, quilting, sewing, reading and tablescaping. In addition, she volunteers for several local non-profit organizations. Pat comes up with the ideas for the tablescapes and usually sets the table.
I (Katie) am retired (after many, many years with the county) and rescue dachshunds, collect dishes, glassware, flatware, and Betty Boop. I am the one that usually writes the blog and takes the pictures.
